Putin Vows Retaliation Should Ukraine Become Member Of Big Ten - The Onion MOSCOW—Warning that President Volodymyr Zelensky should think carefully about the repercussions of changing his country’s college football conference alignment, Russian president Vladimir Putin reportedly vowed retaliation Friday should Ukraine ever become a member of the Big Ten. “There is absolutely no reason why Ukraine needs to join the Big Ten outside of provoking Russia, and any move to apply for membership will be met with the harshest consequences,” said Putin, pointing to Ukraine’s position in the neutral firewall of countries that have long served as a geographical buffer between Russia and Big Ten members like Indiana University and Rutgers. “Any move to even increase the number of games between Ukraine and Big Ten schools will be considered an act of aggression against the Russian state and will be met with proportionate force. These universities have been stoking hostility against Russia for decades, and we caution Ukraine not to indulge their thirst for power. Frankly, this is for Zelensky’s own good. We know why the University of Michigan co-founded the Big Ten all those years ago as a vehicle for its own nefarious interests in NCAA Division I sports, and we urge Ukraine not to become a puppet of [University of Michigan athletic director] Alan Haller in a prolonged proxy season between the Big Ten schools and Russia.” At press time, tensions were rising after Russia pulled their ambassador from Penn State.

Watching the end of the Indiana game on the TV with my mom and grandmother while my dad and sister watched the end of the Cal game on his laptop was certainly an experience

I've seen it regularly with rugby and Australian football and I'm so glad it's finally coming to American football

50, not 4, right? Or is there another one this cycle where we have to see his face?

Possession arrow? Have these commentators called a pro game before?

I think post-2020, pretty much all the antivaxxers are right wing, even if they originally came into it more from the woo side

Would add a fun extra clock management challenge for coaches

CFB should try Australian football clock rules, where the American-style downward-counting clock with stoppages is only shown on the broadcast and players/in-person fans only see the soccer-style upward-counting clock without stoppages

Still can't get over Georgia Tech playing Stanford Jonah when they score a touchdown

I really like how they're including the audio from the booth review in this Clemson/Georgia Tech game. AFL and international rugby both do this all the time and I've always wished American football would do the same

SB 79 passed the Assembly!

I mean, it was a mistake for them both to launch their own networks in 1995, but it's a little late to fix that @thefifth.network

Well, she *is* the bisexual verison of Lucy, and we know Lucy has rizz

Last year ESPN put Cal/Miami at 7:30 PM local the day GameDay was there. I left my apartment at 3 AM to make the early BART train and returned home after midnight having experienced every possible human emotion in the intervening 21 hours

He's from Santa Clara County, but that honestly just made these views more likely. My very suburban CoCoCo parents are way less hostile to BART because they've actually used it

I think I've been to entire college basketball games that were shorter than just that half

That was the longest half of basketball I've ever watched

Make that three

The whole pip taken up by one game? You need to get a quadbox in there

Final score 114-14, a record score for AFLW (surpassing the previous record of 108 set by Port Adelaide just yesterday)

For anyone not yet exposed to Australian football, it's really the perfect sport for CFB sickos. It's like you made a whole sport out of punts and the scramble for the ball after fumbles

North up 37-6 after the first quarter. It feels weird for me to root for such a consistently dominant team (came into it accidentally after first getting into Australian football through North Melbourne men, who are much more typical of the teams I tend to root for)

Hoping that JKS sticks around for long enough that Rolovich is gone and I can watch again

It's weird for a Cal football game to be going on and only hearing about it second-hand (not watching this season b/c of the Rolovich hire). Are they actually good or is Oregon State just bad?

Switching from a quadbox of current and former Pac-12 schools to the North Melbourne AFLW match

Momentarily forgot about the toilet paper brand and thought this was about Cal women's basketball
